### ECMWF IFS wind
|
||||
|
||||
Wind also offers ECMWF IFS 10 m forecasts from the keyless [ECMWF Open Data](https://www.ecmwf.int/en/forecasts/datasets/open-data) service. The proxy reads its JSON Lines inventory and byte-range fetches 10u/10v GRIB messages, optionally adding 2t (2 m temperature) or msl (mean sea-level pressure) from the same run and forecast time. It resamples these fields to the approximately 1° display grid. Data is licensed under [CC BY 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/). The [ECMWF Terms of Use](https://apps.ecmwf.int/datasets/licences/general/) also apply. In-app attribution identifies this service as based on ECMWF data and products, links the CC BY 4.0 licence, identifies resampling and animation as modifications, and retains the required ECMWF liability disclaimer. Both model issue time and the selected forecast valid time appear in the layer row. These are model forecasts, not observations.
|
||||
|
||||
### NOAA GFS wind
|
||||
|
||||
The optional **Wind** layer animates the global 10 m wind field from NOAA's
|
||||
Global Forecast System (GFS). The `/api/wind` server-side proxy selects the
|
||||
latest available 0.25° cycle, reads its `.idx` inventory, byte-range fetches only
|
||||
the `UGRD`/`VGRD` 10 m GRIB2 messages, optionally adding `TMP` at 2 m or
|
||||
`PRMSL` at mean sea level from the same run and forecast time. It decodes the
|
||||
selected messages with ecCodes (WASM), resamples to a compact grid (1° by
|
||||
default), and serves a manifest plus Float32 U/V and optional scalar values. It is keyless, cached
|
||||
per cycle for an hour, and is a **forecast, not an observation**: the particles
|
||||
show model flow, not measured wind. The renderer bakes bounded curves through
|
||||
the sampled field and animates their phase on the GPU, with a canvas fallback.
|
||||
Any display lift is a visual aid and does not change the forecast's 10 m level.
|
||||
NOAA GFS data is U.S. public domain; the credit above is a courtesy and does not
|
||||
imply endorsement.
|
||||
|
||||
For both models, optional temperature is normalized from K to °C and pressure
|
||||
from Pa to hPa before delivery. A missing, malformed or timed-out companion field
|
||||
does not discard valid wind: the manifest marks that field unavailable, and the
|
||||
UI retains wind without inventing scalar values. The proxy caches by model and
|
||||
requested field, with bounded current/previous grids and shared in-flight loads.

Wind speed shading is computed locally from U/V and needs no companion download.

without those normals it shades global globe curvature only, not local terrain

### Weather layers: coverage and meaning
|
||||
Status: Open (source limits, by design)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Rain radar covers the contiguous United States only.** It shows MRMS
|
||||
reflectivity in dBZ, not rainfall rate or a forecast; a gap in coverage does not
|
||||
mean no precipitation.
|
||||
- **Lightning density is a ground-network grid, not GLM flashes.** It is NOAA's
|
||||
15-minute density product derived from Vaisala NLDN/GLD360 on an approximately
|
||||
8 km grid, for the Americas and Pacific only (110°E across the dateline to 0°,
|
||||
25°S–80°N). It is not a live strike counter or an all-clear.
|
||||
- **Cyclone advisories cover NOAA's basins only:** the Atlantic and the
|
||||
eastern/central North Pacific (NHC and CPHC). Storms elsewhere do not appear.
|
||||
The cone is forecast-center uncertainty, not storm size.
|
||||
- **Satellite clouds:** global infrared is hourly with typically 2–3 hours of
|
||||
source latency. Clouds only is a brightness filter, not a cloud mask.
|
||||
- **Wind is a forecast.** The animation flows through one forecast on an
|
||||
approximately 1° grid and does not advance forecast time or follow the
|
||||
observed-history timeline.
|
||||
- **History is not shared.** Share links carry the weather layers and their
|
||||
settings but open at Latest.
|
||||
- **3D Tiles detail window during history playback:** when a frame's detail image
|
||||
is slow to arrive, the window may fall back to the coarser full-extent image
|
||||
until it does.
|
||||
- Native hardware GPU behavior of the wind and weather renderers is not yet
|
||||
verified.

|

### Satellite passes and analyst answers
|
||||
Status: Open (by design)
|
||||
|
||||
- Pass predictions search the next 24 hours for satellites in the loaded catalog.
|
||||
Visibility is a geometric estimate (satellite sunlit, observer's Sun at or
|
||||
below −6°); it ignores weather, satellite brightness and orbital-element age.
|
||||
- Analyst counts and ranks cover a bounded set of loaded records (by default
|
||||
2,000 per layer for satellites, datacenters and dams), so omitted records can
|
||||
change a nearest or count answer. Satellite distance is ground distance.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Live camera video (HLS)
|
||||
Status: Open (limits)
|
||||
|
||||
- At most two live-video sessions run at once. RTMP-only sources and encrypted,
|
||||
fMP4 or byte-range playlists are not supported.
|
||||
- When live video fails, the camera falls back to its labeled still, Street View

or placeholder frame, which is not live video.
